The truck was great and the prefect size. My only complaint is I chose to have the same pick up and drop off site on their website only to find out when I went to return the truck they don't take drop offs. They did comp me for the extra mileage but we wasted about forty precious minutes that could have been used to unpack.

Nice newer clean truck. Pick up and drop off was quick. I chose Penske because they offered trucks with lift gates and their equipment is generally in better condition. I would recommend Penske if you want clean low mileage trucks that are not beat to death. They are not the cheapest option when choosing a rental truck but you tend to get what you pay for.

The truck was exactly as advertised. HOWEVER - Penske inner truck space is less than that of Uhaul or Budget. But if you know that, and compensate for it, you'll be fine.

We were told we had a 50 gallon tank and gas gauge showed empty at 25, we were told there would be a CD and there wasn't one. Not the most comfortable when traveling across country. They say 3 seater but you could not put a third person in the cab!

Not only was the truck practically new and spotless, the reservation process was fast and efficient. The msot important thing was I had an emergency come up and rather than add to my distress they worked with me and I could not believe I was dealing with a large corporation - I felt like I was dealing with a small local business that knew me and wanted to help! Consequently I will never do business with any other rental company except Penske!

We had a 22ft truck to move a 2BR and 1BR apartment into a single house. We should have gone with a larger truck as we had to leave a few items behind to be moved separately. The staff overall seemed friendly and helpful. The truck was fairly roomy and clean. We chose them because they were cheaper than other options and offered a AAA discount. I would use them again.

great truck, wouldn't use any other. Once rented a U-Haul truck near San Francisco for a move to Scottsdale, and they gave me one without a radiator (no lie). I noticed a hose sticking out of the front right wheel well and asked them to open the hood. Good thing!

Best rental truck company out there. They gave me an upgrade to a larger truck at no extra charge, helped me when I wasn't able to get the ramp back up and even extended my rental an extra day without charge when I couldn't get my ramp back in the truck in order to return it....their customer service and road side assistance was so responsive!

Penske customer service is wonderful. They bent over backwards to make our drive painless. Our 26' truck was loaded, along with a car trailer. It could use a few more horsepower. 35 MPH going up hills was a bit much. Passed by everyone. Once on the flat, it was smooth sailing. Clean, comfortable truck.

Gas gauge was on full when I picked the truck up so before I returned it I filled it until the pump stopped. That's when I found out the gauge went way past the full mark so I actully took the truck back with a lot more fuel than it had when I picked it up. I feel like it was a bit dishonest.

When picking up the truck the one we rented was not available. We had to take a smaller truck and change it for a larger one with Penske Truck Company. This was the second time we used this company and both times we ran into size with our trucks. We had nice clean trucks and would use Penske Trucking Company again but hoping it would be without the hassle on moving day of not having our truck ready. We did speak with a customer service person so we should have not had the problems with Penske. I would rate this company a 3 out of 5.

Truck was almost brand new - AUX hookup, cruise control, we were able to travel at 70mph consistently with a full load and towing a car with no problems. Ended up getting between 6 and 12 mpg depending on which part of the drive it was, averaging 9.1mpg from Omaha to LA.

B/c I have had past poor experiences with U-Haul, I selected Penske. From placing the initial order by phone, the follow-up calls, the pickup of the truck, the loading of my car on the trailer the next day (in Tampa, Florida) to the easy drop-off of the trailer and next day easy return of the rental truck at Home Depot (Harrisburg, Pa,) everything was excellent.

My Penske truck was practically brand new. Perfect size. Downside is that because it's a cab it's not comfortable for the passenger - the engine really heats up the foot space on the passenger side and there's no reclining. I wish they'd make extended cab options. A friend recommended Penske over UHAUL and I'm very glad I went with Penske. I never worried that the truck would break down over any mountain passes (I heard terrible moving stories about cross-country drives - yikes). One thing I wasn't completely prepared for was the amount of gas a truck hauling thousands of pounds of weight would require. On flat highways the truck gets around 10 miles to the gallon. Much less over passes, of course. Be sure to include gas prices when preparing to move yourself. Whew!
